The Montgomery County Council unanimously approved a resolution supporting the county’s application to redesignate the Wheaton Arts and Entertainment District for the next 10 years.
Nestor Albarenga, appearing on behalf of the County Executive, told the council that the designation supports a broad local arts ecosystem — from cultural restaurants and Botanicas to public events such as the Wheaton Arts Parade and Taste of Wheaton — and noted ongoing investments including a forthcoming county arts and cultural center in Wheaton.
Council action was taken immediately following the public hearing and passed by unanimous voice or raised‑hand vote.
